Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, 2011

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you from all of us at Webvision. This image, a Christmas wreath created by Robert E. Marc is composed of 104 rod bipolar cell axonal fields from the world’s first complete connectome with synaptic level resolution. Each bipolar cell in this field has been annotated from ultrastructural data revealing its extent and connectivities to other cell classes. The rod bipolar cells have been rendered out in 3D and is viewed from the top, or photoreceptor side, looking down towards the ganglion cell layer.
